 Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
Of course Karleigh loved a good party and she was brimming with positive energy when she arrived at the greenhouses, just in time to hear Professor DeVries thanking everyone for coming today. She had been sad about the greenhouses being destroyed a few years ago, but she was so pleased that they were now fully restored. She had been happy to offer some of her assistance the past couple of years too.
Karleigh paused to snap a picture for her 7th year Hogwarts scrapbook, then looked over at the table of plants that the professor mentioned. "Oh that's so nice, thank you Professor!" she said as she picked up a pot of rosemary for herself. "I can take anyone to Greenhouse Three or Five, if anyone wants," she offered to the collective group, well the younger ones at least, as she turned to look at who was already here. She gave Jude a friendly wave, then quickly turned away as she spotted Atlas, trying to avoid him for the moment. He had really kind of hurt her feelings and she was trying to not think about it.
And not that she considered herself a Herbology expert or anything, but she was a seventh year and she really did like to help, considering Professor DeVries asked the older students to help as escorts for the younger ones. But maybe a refreshment first.

Phoenix had no reason to miss this party, even if he wasn't the most sociable second year. (That honor likely went to Vera). But he always at least tried to be friendly, and who was he to pass up free snacks? He just remembered last term when Professor DeVries had a party, he felt a little overlooked by his peers - invisible, even. And maybe it was that thought that made him basically invisible today as he walked into the party.
Phoenix hadn't immediately realized that he was completely disillusioned, of course. Even though he knew that the phenomenon had been happening here and there, he wasn't always aware until he looked down at his feet or noticed his hand was blended in with his surroundings. And here he was, completely camouflaged with the environment as he headed towards the refreshment table, blissfully unaware that likely no one would be able to see him. He had paused when the professor addressed the assembled group, then reached for a cookie from the table.
"Hi, Ash," the disillusioned boy greeted the older girl, noticing her by the table too. Then he turned in the direction of the sneezing girl, Mitsuki. "Bless you," he told her as he thought it customary, then glanced at the flowers fallen all around her. "Are you allergic?" There were a lot of flowers. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to make flower crowns, if she was allergic.
